For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.

3 For I know my transgressions,and my sin is always before me.4 Against you, you only, have I sinnedand done what is evil in your sight;so you are right in your verdictand justified when you judge.5 Surely I was sinful at birth,sinful from the time my mother conceived me.6 Yet you desired faithfulness even in the womb;you taught me wisdom in that secret place.

7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.8 Let me hear joy and gladness;let the bones you have crushed rejoice.9 Hide your face from my sinsand blot out all my iniquity.

10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,and renew a steadfast spirit within me.11 Do not cast me from your presenceor take your Holy Spirit from me.12 Restore to me the joy of your salvationand grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
